“Rock Band” Reveals Full Song List: Pixies, NIN, Killers, Metallica, Rush, Clash, Who and More

We’ve spent some time here at Rock Daily gushing about the all-around wonder of Harmonix’s latest music-based video game Rock Band (a.k.a. Guitar Hero for fake drummers, bassists and singers who actually have three other friends to “play music” with). In keeping with its near-perfect gameplay, the folks behind the title have finally revealed its near-perfect playlist. Besides the inclusion of Guitar Hero favorites like Kiss (”Detroit Rock City”), Deep Purple (”Highway Star”) and Nirvana (”In Bloom”), Rock Band also serves up tracks by Radiohead, Iron Maiden, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more for a total of forty-five tunes. For the vocalists, songs like Faith No More’s “Epic” and Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” will probably be the most challenging, and drumming along to the New Pornographers‘ “Electric Version” won’t prove so easy. The game is slated for release on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on November 20th, and there are a few more surprises in the form of thirteen additional songs that you can unlock as you rock. Check after the jump for the entire game tracklist. From the press release: Rock Band Set List: In addition to the 45 tracks listed below, Rock Band will also feature 13 songs ranging from a variety of established bands to up-and-coming independent artists that can be unlocked as you play through the game. 1960s Rolling Stones “Gimme Shelter” 1970s Aerosmith “Train Kept a Rollin’”* The Who “Won’t Get Fooled Again” Boston “Foreplay/Long Time” Mountain “Mississippi Queen”* The Police “Next to You” David Bowie “Suffragette City” Black Sabbath “Paranoid”* Blue Oyster Cult “Don’t Fear the Reaper” The Ramones “Blitzkrieg Bop” Deep Purple “Highway Star” KISS “Detroit Rock City” Molly Hatchet “Flirtin’ With Disaster” The Outlaws “Green Grass &#
